 entered in the stud-book, or will appear in the next volume. 



2. No application in respect of a stallion under three years old will 

 be considered. 



3. Stallions will be inspected and registered free of charge if serving 

 at a fee of £10 or under, exclusive of the groom's fee, provided that 

 they are presented for examination at the place and time appointed by 

 the Board for the purpose. When the fee is over £10 the examination 

 will be at the owner's expense. The necessary veterinary examination 

 will be carried out by the veterinary surgeon appointed for the purpose 

 by the Board. > 



4. A stallion will not be registered or be retained on the register 

 unless it is free from hereditary unsoundness and otherwise fit for 

 breeding purposes. 



If the report of the veterinary surgeon shows that the stallion is 

 suffering from a disease or deformity, which in his opinion renders it 

 unfit for breeding purposes, the owner will be so informed. He will be 

 entitled to have the question of the existence of the disease or deformity 

 determined by a referee appointed by the Board, if he furnishes the 

 Board with a certificate by a veterinary surgeon to the effect that the 

 stallion is not so affected and gives security for the cost of the examina- 

 tion by the referee which will be payable by the owner unless the 

 appeal is successful. The privilege of appeal is not to extend to a 

 stallion which has been rejected on appeal in a previous year. 



5. The Board reserve to themselves the right, without assigning 

 any reason and without inspection or veterinary examination, to decline 

 to register any stallion or to remove it from the register. No appeal 

 will be allowed against a decision of the Board under this rule.

 be inspected and examined by their officers at any time. 



7. If the owner of a registered stallion is detected in any fraudulent 

 practices in connection with this scheme, all his stallions will be liab'e 

 to be struck off the register and the owner may be debarred from 

 obtaining any further benefit under the scheme. 



8. Forms of application for the registration of stallions can be 

 obtained on application to the Secretary, Board of Agriculture and
